Chapter 56: Abdominal Rotation on Horizontal Bar: Bai Tiejun's Transformation

"38!"

"49!"

"102!"

"146!"

The crowd gathered under the horizontal bar grew larger and larger.

The two's competition found leisure time for the soldiers who were bored with training to watch the show.

Ma Jun's cheekbones were popping out, but his eyes swept over and revealed a smile.

Bai Tiejun's speed of abdominal rotation on the horizontal bar was getting slower and slower, and his standard movements also showed errors.

He was still shocked inside. It was only a few months ago that this private, the worst in the Third Squad, couldn't even do fifty.

Now he could actually break a hundred.

"Go, go!!!"

"Ma Jun, go, kill the Third Squad!!!"

The shouting shook the playground.

Discerning people saw that this wasn't an ordinary competition, it seemed to be a competition mixed with private grievances.

The shouting made Gan Xiaoning stand up. When he stood in front of the window and looked down at the playground, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Isn't that Bai Tiejun? How did he get into a fight with Ma Jun?"

"Seems like it. What to do? The other party's whole squad is out."

Gan Xiaoning didn't hesitate. "Go, go down and help. Damn it, dare to provoke our Third Squad!"

Soldiers in the military are like this, collective honor always exceeds personal emotions.

Even if they didn't like Bai Tiejun half an hour ago.

But as long as it involved the collective honor of the Third Squad.

This matter wasn't just one person's business.

It was about whether the entire Third Squad could hold their heads up.

This sound shook most of the Steel Seventh Company.

"Cheng Cai, go watch the fun?"

Cheng Cai was holding a book on sniper shooting essentials and studying it, not even raising his head. "What's there to watch? A bunch of people with nothing to do."

"Oh, then I'm going."

"Wait, pour me a glass of water before you go."

The private paused and revealed a smile. "Sure."

As the standard sniper of the Steel Seventh Company, his treatment in this squad was top-notch.

Even the Squad Leader had to talk politely.

Who let Cheng Cai be the most talented sniper in history?

This kind of talent would go further sooner or later, so they didn't dare to give him a face.

"Squad Leader, Bai Tiejun is doing abdominal rotation on the horizontal bar!" Wu Liuyi looked calmly at Shi Jin.

Shi Jin was stunned. "And then?"

"Got into a fight with someone."

Shi Jin was silent for a moment. "Go take a look. Bai Tiejun just finished the assessment... if his confidence is hit now..."

Wu Liuyi had a somewhat sneering smile. "Squad Leader, you can't pull everyone to the passing line. 'Never abandon, never give up' is our company's slogan, but the problem is he is abandoning us now. Look at him."

"Where is Xu Sanduo?" Shi Jin asked.

"Standing on the playground. It wouldn't work if we went. My concussion hasn't healed yet, the injury on my right leg seems to have recurred, Squad Leader, your left hand hasn't healed properly either. As for Xu Sanduo... he's half-crippled, those hands are like zongzi."

Wu Liuyi looked cold. "Bai Tiejun is letting everyone slap the Third Squad's face. Does he have the strength to show off, daring to agree to someone else's competition?"

Shi Jin sighed. "Go take a look."

——

"Go, go!"

"Third Squad, can you do it? If not, get down. Look, your face is blue, that's enough."

Bai Tiejun was trembling all over, and his movements of turning over the bar were getting slower and slower.

Ma Jun, however, still maintained his movements steadily.

Discerning people could see that Bai Tiejun's defeat was just a matter of time.

"Give up?" Bai Tiejun said bitterly, supporting himself on the horizontal bar with both hands.

He really had no strength left.

Doing fifty on weekdays was his limit.

Now he had reached 138, that was enough.

If he got down now, no one would blame him.

He had broken through his own limit.

He was higher than most people in the Third Squad.

Get down, it's too strenuous.

Bai Tiejun's spirit gradually dissipated, and his hands slowly relaxed.

"Bai Tiejun."

A cold voice made him subconsciously grab the horizontal bar. He turned his head and saw Feng Yuxiu staring at him expressionlessly.

"Sanduo, I can't hold on anymore," Bai Tiejun cried out.

Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi stood on the edge of the playground, watching quietly.

In front of them was the Third Squad led by Gan Xiaoning.

"138, Bai Tiejun is really awesome."

Gan Xiaoning shook his head. "Except for today, I would say he's awesome, but not today. Ma Jun has already done 150. This time the Third Squad's face is going to be beaten swollen."

"I really can't figure it out. If you're not that kind of material, why agree to others? And use the Third Squad's face as a bet."

"What is Third Master saying?" A private from the Third Squad reminded.

——

"Bai Tiejun, continue." Feng Yuxiu stared coldly at Bai Tiejun, who was about to lose strength.

"Sanduo, I really have no strength left, I can't hold on." Bai Tiejun sobbed, which was completely out of place in this bloody place in the military.

Feng Yuxiu looked at Bai Tiejun indifferently. He took two steps forward, a conversation that only the two of them could hear. "Continue, otherwise I'll kill you."

Bai Tiejun subconsciously looked into Feng Yuxiu's eyes.

Feng Yuxiu's eyes weren't big, his gaze was calm and pure, and that pure gaze was mixed with a trace of coldness.

This feeling made Bai Tiejun forget his fatigue. He felt a chill shoot up from his tailbone.

Even under the scorching noon, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Gradually, his whole body began to shake.

This wasn't the feeling of cold body temperature.

But fear.

Finally, Bai Tiejun understood the taste emitted by this gaze.

That was... murderous intent!

It was also at this moment that Bai Tiejun truly remembered.

The unremarkable soldier in front of him had killed a person a week ago.

This wasn't a joke, nor was it a threat.

Under fear, Bai Tiejun let out a roaring shout.

"Ah!!!"

This sudden shouting broke the heated cheering on the side.

Everyone looked in astonishment at Bai Tiejun, who had climbed back up.

Ma Jun finally ran out of strength, got down from the horizontal bar, and lowered his head, looking at his hands, which had been rubbed red and purple.

"How many?"

"Deputy Squad Leader, 182! Won!" A private on the side revealed white teeth.

Ma Jun nodded as a matter of course. "This time I won..."

His voice stopped abruptly. In his heart, Bai Tiejun, who was the last, was now doing abdominal rotation on the horizontal bar with a ferocious face.

Even if his hands were rubbed bloody, even if his face was pale.

Bai Tiejun was clearly already in a state of exhaustion, why was he still like this?

Who gave him the courage?

So, Ma Jun's gaze found Feng Yuxiu.

Feng Yuxiu stared expressionlessly at Bai Tiejun, while Bai Tiejun didn't dare to have the slightest pause.

"I can do it!"

Bai Tiejun vaguely saw his father wearing tattered clothes.

His father's face was full of gullies, his face was dark, but he had the unique smile of an old farmer.

"Son, walk forward out of the mountain, Dad is waiting for you at home."

"Son, don't come back after you walk out of the mountain..."

That day, Bai Tiejun's dad sent his son off.

Walked for eight hours, walked out of the layered mountains.

When the wind blew, the waist his dad had bent for half a lifetime slowly straightened up.

"Dad!!! Son will win glory for you!"

Bai Tiejun shouted miserably, his hands welded to the horizontal bar as if he had gone crazy. ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
